Solicitor General : The information brochure was published on February 23. My first submission is the rules of game start from this date. Last date of registration was March 15. Scheduled exam was in March. It was postponed. Date for release of booklet counselling in July 29.
The information brochure says that the reservation will be applicable as per the norms of the government. What will be applicable reservation will be informed at the counselling. When I appear for an exam, my performance is not based on applicable reservation. I have to give the best. I can't say since there is 10% reservation, I can perform slightly less.

Adv Dave for FORDA: I'm representing resident doctors who had gone on strike. 45000 doctors are inducted as PG doctor's every year in medical workforce. This year because of the pandemic exam happened late, only 2nd and 3rd year residents are there because 1st years have not joined.
The counselling has to start immediately because 3rd year residents are about to pass out in 4 months. We'll be left with 33% of workforce. With 3rd wave coming we need doctors.

Grover: Vast majority of people are from 0 to 2.5 lakhs and even if income tax limit is now 5 lakhs, more than 80% people are in this range.
With this criteria, if 5 lakh criteria is adopted, vast majority will fall into that. 5 lakhs is the basic criteria which should be there and there is no reason as to why 8 lakh criteria has been adopted.
Justice Chandrachud : Mr Grover what you're saying is that use your 142 power and consider it as 5 lakhs?.
